4. Notes on start-up
Make sure that following points are checked prior to making connection to power supply and switching on
the controller:
• Is the controller casing properly closed with all screws tightened?
• Are all plug hooks engaged / firmly screwed in place?
• Are all cables and glands in proper condition?
• Is operation for the INTENDED USE made sure?
• Does the supply voltage specified on the controller match the local supply system?
• Does the supply frequency specified on the vibratory drive match the local supply system?
• Is the correct mode set on the controller? (See description under "Modes of Operation")
Only if you can clearly answer all the above questions with "Yes" must the controller be put into operation.
Attention:
Set the controller to minimum output before switching-on for commissioning or start-up after repairs or re-
placement of controllers/vibratory drives. Then watch proper operation while the output is increased.
4.1. Modes of operation
RNA vibratory drive systems employ mechanical spring vibrators which are set to a vibrating frequency near the mains
frequency or near double mains frequency depending on weight and/or size.
This is why two modes of operation are possible:
Mode 1: Asymmetric half-wave mode:
The vibrating drive at mains frequency.
Mode 2: Symmetric full-wave mode:
The vibrating drive operates at double mains frequency.
To assist the operator the cable glands on the drive connector are colour-coded.
Mode 1: black
Mode 2: Grey
In terms of the vibrating frequency this means:
Mains frequency 50 Hz
Mains frequency 60 Hz
Cable gland colour
Mode 1
Half-wave mode
Vibration frequency
50 Hz ≙ 3000 min-1
Vibration frequency
60 Hz ≙ 3600 min-1

Mode 2

VT-BA-ESK2001_EN-2019 / 22.08.2019 SJ
4.2. Automatic mode change
Vibratory drive systems by RNA do not require the operator to take care of selecting the right operating mode. The op-
erating mode is determined by a code in the RNA vibrating drive connector. A wire jumper from pin 3 to 4 in the con-
nector switches the controller to mode 2: 100 or 120 Hz. In the absence of this wire jumper the controller operates in
mode 1: 50 or 60 Hz.
The RNA vibratory drive systems come with the right code in the connector.
A mode change is made only and exclusively via the code in the vibratory drive connector!
(Where frequency controllers with selectable output frequency are used, an EMC metal gland and a shielded cable are
provided.)
4.3. Sensor inputs and sensor linkages
The controller has two sensor inputs which are used for accumulation checking, level checking, cycle monitoring and
other monitoring functions. The following basic assignments are made:
Sensor input 1 acts on channel 1, unless otherwise programmed in menu C006.
Sensor input 2 acts on channel 2.
The sensor inputs can be evaluated only if they are activated. For sensor connection (connector XS3) please refer to
the connection diagram.

4.5. Status outputs and relays
The status outputs are used for remote diagnostics of the controller status or of the links of several controllers with one
another.
They are designed as freely available NPN-doped transistor circuits and they are floating.
With the status output READY the transistor circuit is switched through whenever the controller is connected to power
supply and switched on by its power switch closed.
The status output ACTIVE requires the same conditions for switching-through as "READY". In addition, channel 1
must be operating actively, the transistor blocks in case of ACCUMULATION, OFF or STOP. The status outputs as
well as the external enabling inputs are to be wired via plug connector XS4.
The two relays have different functions. K1 operates as a status relay parallel to the ACTIVE status output. K2 serves
either for a blowing air switch-off delay (4 sec.) or for cycle monitoring of one of the two sensor channels.
Connections and cable entry are on the right-hand side of the controller with the terminal block behind the panel.

Bowl feeder (channel 1) stops when both sensors are operated. Orienting air can be switched
off with delay (4 sec.) via relay K2.

Min/Max logic of the two sensor inputs.
The bowl feeder stops when both sensors are operated. The vibratory feeder (channel 1) will re-start
only after both sensors are cleared again.
Relay K1 operates on stopping of bowl feeder. Relay K2 operates 4 sec. later (stopping the blowing
air)
AND / S2 logic
Vibratory feeder (channel 1) stops when both sensors are operated. It starts when sensor 2 is
cleared again. Orienting air can be switched off with delay (4 sec.) via relay K2.
Level check for hoppers with external hopper control
Sensor 2 operates relay K1 following the delay period entered (C005).
When sensor 1 is operated, relay K1 drops out (hopper interlock).
Application:
Sensor 1 = accumulation check
Sensor 2 = level check
Relay K1 = hopper control
Level check with indicator light
Sensor 2 operates relay K1 following the delay period entered (C005) without taking into account
sensor 1 (accumulation check).
Application:
Sensor 2 is used as a level checker (e.g., LC-N 24V DC). Relay K1 operates an indicator
light: Bowl feeder empty.
5.5.5. Code C008 cycle monitoring

The cycle watchdog monitors the CLEAR sensor status. The time (A 180) sets the maximum duration
for which a sensor is allowed to be clear before an alarm message is generated.
In case of an alarm the relay K2 is clocked on and off. Reset takes place automatically when the sen-
sor is operated again.
If OUT = 1 the alarm operates relay K2 (indicator light: Error) and also stops the bowl feeder. An ER-
ROR message appears on the panel display. Use the bottom right cursor button for reset.
If OUT = 0 the alarm only operates relay K2 (indicator light: Error). Reset takes place automatically
when sensor 1 is operated.
If A.I. = 1 relay K1 is clocked on and off in response to the alarm (switching from relay K2 to relay K1).
